The provisional application and the Tables attached to it are specifically incorporated by reference herein.

The present invention relates to focused libraries of genetic packages that each display, display and express, or comprise a member of a diverse family of peptides, polypeptides or proteins and collectively display, display and express, or comprise at least a portion of the focused diversity of the family. The focused diversity of the libraries of this invention comprises both sequence diversity and length diversity. In a preferred embodiment, the focused diversity of the libraries of this invention is biased toward the natural diversity of the selected family. In more preferred embodiment, the libraries are biased toward the natural diversity of human antibodies and are characterized by variegation in their heavy chain and light chain complementarity determining regions (“CDRs”).

The present invention further relates to vectors and genetic packages (e.g., cells, spores or viruses) for displaying, or displaying and expressing a focused diverse family of peptides, polypeptides or proteins. In a preferred embodiment the genetic packages are filamentous phage or phagemids or yeast. Again, the focused diversity of the family comprises diversity in sequence and diversity in length.

The present invention further relates to methods of screening the focused libraries of the invention and to the peptides, polypeptides and proteins identified by such screening.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is now common practice in the art to prepare libraries of genetic packages that individually display, display and express, or comprise a member of a diverse family of peptides, polypeptides or proteins and collectively display, display and express, or comprise at least a portion of the amino acid diversity of the family. In many common libraries, the peptides, polypeptides or proteins are related to antibodies (e.g., single chain Fv (scFv), Fv, Fab, whole antibodies or minibodies (i.e., dimers that consist of V_(H) linked to V_(L))). Often, they comprise one or more of the CDRs and framework regions of the heavy and light chains of human antibodies.

Peptide, polypeptide or protein libraries have been produced in several ways in the prior art. See e.g., Knappik et al., J. Mol. Biol., 296, pp. 57-86 (20004, which is incorporated herein by references. One method is to capture the diversity of native donors, either naive or immunized. Another way is to generate libraries having synthetic diversity. A third method is combination of the first two. Typically, the diversity produced by these methods is limited to sequence diversity, i.e., each member of the library differs from the other members of the family by having different amino acids or variegation at a given position in the peptide, polypeptide or protein chain. Naturally diverse peptides, polypeptides or proteins, however, are not limited to diversity only in their amino acid sequences. For example, human antibodies are not limited to sequence diversity in their amino acids, they are also diverse in the lengths of their amino acid chains.

For antibodies, diversity in length occurs, for example, during variable region rearrangements. See e.g., Corbett et al., J. Mol. Biol., 270, pp. 587-97 (1997). The joining of V genes to J genes, for example, results in the inclusion of a recognizable D segment in CDR3 in about half of the heavy chain antibody sequences, thus creating regions encoding varying lengths of amino-acids. The following also may occur during joining of antibody gene segments: (i) the end of the V gene may have zero to several base deleted or changed; (ii) the end of the D segment may have zero to many bases removed or changed; (iii) a number of random bases may be inserted between V and D or between D and J; and (iv) the 5′ end of J may be edited to remove or to change several bases. These rearrangements result in antibodies that are diverse both in amino acid sequence and in length.

Libraries that contain only amino acid sequence diversity are, thus disadvantaged in that they do not reflect the natural diversity of the peptide, polypeptide or protein that the library is intended to mimic. Further, diversity in length may be important to the ultimate functioning of the protein, peptide or polypeptide. For example, with regard to a library comprising antibody regions, many of the peptides, polypeptides, proteins displayed, displayed and expressed, or comprised by the genetic packages of the library may not fold properly or their binding to an antigen may be disadvantaged, if diversity both in sequence and length are not represented in the library.

An additional disadvantage of prior art libraries of genetic packages that display, display and express, or comprise peptides, polypeptides and proteins is that they are not focused on those members that are based on natural occurring diversity and thus on members that are most likely to be functional. Rather, the prior art libraries, typically, attempt to include as much diversity or variegation at every amino acid residue as possible. This makes library construction time-consuming and less efficient than possible. The large number of members that are produced by trying to capture complete diversity also makes screening more cumbersome than it needs to be. This is particularly true given that many members of the library will not be functional.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

One objective of this invention is focused libraries of vectors or genetic packages that encode members of a diverse family of peptides, polypeptides or proteins wherein the libraries encode populations that are diverse in both length and sequence. The diverse length comprising components contain motifs that are likely to fold and function in the context of the parental peptide, polypeptide or protein.

Another object of this invention is focused libraries of genetic packages that display, display and express, or comprise a member of a diverse family of peptides, polypeptides and proteins and collectively display, display and express, or comprise at least a portion of the focused diversity of the family. These libraries are diverse not only in their amino acid sequences, but also in their lengths. And, their diversity is focused so as to more closely mimic or take into account the naturally-occurring diversity of the specific family that the library represents.

Another object of this invention is diverse, but focused, populations of DNA sequences encoding peptides, polypeptides or proteins suitable for display or display and expression using genetic packages (such as phage or phagemids) or other regimens that allow selection of specific binding components of a library.

A further object of this invention is focused libraries comprising the CDRs of human antibodies that are diverse in both their amino acid sequence and in their length (examples of such libraries include libraries of single chain Fv(scFv), Fv, Fab, whole antibodies or minibodies (i.e., dimers that consist of V_(H) linked to V_(L)). Such regions may be from the heavy or light chains or both and may include one or, more of the CDRs of those chains. More preferably, they diversity or variegation occurs in all of the heavy chain and light chain CDRs.

It is another object of this invention to provide methods of making and screening the above libraries and the peptides, polypeptides and proteins obtained in such screening.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Antibodies (“Ab”) concentrate their diversity into those regions that are involved in determining affinity and specificity of the Ab for particular targets. These regions may be diverse in sequence or in length. Generally, they are diverse In both ways. However, within families of human antibodies the diversities, both in sequence and in length, are not truly random. Rather, some amino acid residues are preferred at certain positions of the CDRs and some CDR lengths are preferred. These preferred diversities account for the natural diversity of the antibody family.

According to this invention, and as more fully described below, libraries of vectors and genetic packages that more closely mirror the natural diversity, both in sequence and in length, of antibody families, or portions thereof are prepared and used.

Human Antibody Heavy Chain Sequence and Length Diversity

(a) Framework

The heavy chain (“HC”) Germ-Line Gene (GLG) 3-23 (also known as 1/1)-47) accounts for about 12% of all human Abs and is preferred as the framework in the preferred embodiment of the invention. It should, however, be understood that other well-known frameworks, such as 4-34, 3-30, 3-30.3 and 4-30.1, may also be used without departing from the principles of the focused diversities of this invention.

In addition, JH4 (YFDYWGQGTLVTVSS; SEQ ID NO:20) occurs more often than JH3 in native antibodies. Hence, it is preferred for the focused libraries of this invention. However, JH3 (AFDIWGQGTMVTVSS; SEQ ID NO:21) could as well be used.

(b) Focused Length Diversity: CDR1, 2 and 3

(i) CDR1

For CDR1, GLGs provide CDR1s only Of the lengths 5, 6, and 7. Mutations during the maturation of the v-domain gene, however, can lead to CDR1s having lengths as short as 2 and as long as 16. Nevertheless, length 5, predominates. Accordingly, in the preferred embodiment of this invention the preferred HC CDR1 is 5 amino acids, with less preferred CDR1s having lengths of 7 and 14. In the most preferred libraries of this invention, all three lengths are used in proportions similar to those found in natural antibodies.

(ii) CDR2

GLGs provide CDR2s only of the lengths 15:19, but mutations during maturation may result in CDR2s of lengths from 16 to 28 amino acids. The lengths 16 and 17 predominate in mature Ab genes. Accordingly, length 17 is the preferred length for HC CDR2 of the present invention. Less preferred HC CDR2s of this invention have lengths 16 and 19. In the most preferred focused libraries of this invention, all three lengths are included in proportions similar to those found in natural antibody families.

(iii) CDR3

HC CDR3s vary in length. About half of human HCs consist of the components: V::nz::D::ny::JHn where V is a V gene, nz is a series of bases (mean 12) that are essentially random, D is a D segment, often with heavy editing at both ends, ny is a series of bases (mean 6) that are essentially random, and JH is one of the six JH segments, often with heavy editing at the 5′ end. The D segments appear to provide spacer segments that allow folding of the IgG. The greatest diversity is at the junctions of y with D and of D with JH.

In the preferred-libraries of this invention both types of HC CDR3s are used. In HC CDR3s that have no identifiable D segment, the structure is V::nz::JHn where JH is usually edited at the 5′ end. In HC CDR3s that have an identifiable D segment, the structure is V::nz::D::ny::JHn.

(c) Focused Sequence Diversity: CDR1, 2 and 3

(i) CDR1

In 5 amino acid length CDR1, examination of a 3D model of a humanized Ab showed that the side groups of residues 1, 3, and 5 were directed toward the combining pocket. Consequently, in the focused libraries of this invention, each of these positions may be selected from any of the native amino acid residues, except cysteine (“C”). Cysteine can form disulfide bonds, which are an important component of the canonical Ig fold. Having free thiol groups Could, thus, interfere with proper folding of the HC and could lead to problems in production or manipulation of selected Abs. Thus, in the focused libraries of this invention cysteine is excluded from positions 1; 3 and 5 of the preferred 5 amino acid CDR1s. The other 19 natural amino acids residues may be used at positions 1, 3 and 5. Preferably, each is present in equimolar ratios in the variegated libraries of this invention.

3D modeling also suggests that the side groups of residue 2 in a 5 amino acid CDR1 are directed away from the combining pocket. Although this position shows substantial diversity, both in GLG and mature genes, in the focused libraries of this invention this residue is preferably Tyr (Y) because it occurs in 681/820 mature antibody genes. However, any of the other native amino acid residues, except Cys (C), could also be used at this position.

For position 4, there is also some diversity in GLG and mature antibody genes. However, almost all mature genes have uncharged hydrophobic amino acid residues: A, G, L, P, F, M, W, I, V, at this position. Inspection of a 3D model also shows that the side group of residue 4 is packed into the innards of the HC. Thus, in the preferred embodiment of this invention which uses framework 3-23, residue 4 is preferably Met because it is likely to fit very well into the framework of 3-23. With other frameworks, a similar fit consideration is used to assign residue 4.

Thus, the most preferred HC⁻CDR1 of this invention consists of the amino acid sequence <1>Y<I>M<1> where <1> can be any one of amino acid residues: A, D, E, G, H, I, K, L, M, N, R, Q, S, T, V, W, Y (not C), preferably present at each position in an equimolar amount. This diversity is shown in the context of a framework 3-23:JH4 in Table 1. It has a diversity of 6859-fold.

The two less preferred HC CDR1s of this invention have length 7 and length 14. For length 7, a preferred variegation is (S/T)₁(S/G/<1>)₂(S/G/<1>)₃Y₄Y₅W₆(S/G/<1>)₇ (SEQ ID NO:107); where (S/T) indicates an equimolar mixture of Ser and Thr codons; (S/G/<1>) indicates a mixture Of 0.2025 S, 0.2025 G, and 0.035 for each of A, D, E, F, H, I, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, T, V, W, Y. This design gives a predominance of Ser and Gly at positions 2, 3, and 7, as occurs in mature HC genes. For length 14, a preferred variegation is VSGGSIS<1><1><1>YYW<1> (SEQ ID NO:108), where <1> is an equimolar mixture of the 19 native amino acid residues, except Cys (C).

The DNA that encodes these preferred HC CDR1s is preferably synthesized using trinucleotide building blocks so that each amino acid residue ii present in essentially equimolar or other described amounts. The preferred codons for the <1> amino acid residues are gct, gat, gag, ttt, ggt, cat, att, aag, ctt, atg, aat, cct, cag, cgt, tct, act, gtt, tgg, and tat. Of course, other codons for the chosen amino acid residue could also be used.

The diversity oligonucleotide (ON) is preferably synthesized from BspEI to BstXI (as shown in Table 1) and can, therefore, be incorporated either by PCR synthesis using overlapping ONs or introduced by ligation of BspEI/BstXI-cut fragments. Table 2 shows the oligonucleotides that embody the specified variegations of the preferred length 5 HC CDR1s of this invention. PCR using ON-R1V1vg, ON-R1top, and ON-Rlbot gives a dsDNA product of 73 base-pairs, cleavage with 14spEI and BstXI trims 11 and 13 bases from the ends and provides cohesive ends that can be ligated to similarly cut vector having the 3-23 domain shown in Table 1. Replacement of ON-R1V1vg with either ONR1V2vg or ONR1V3vg (see Table 2) allows synthesis of the two alternative diversity patterns—the 7 residue length and the 14 residue length HC CDR1.

The more preferred libraries of this invention comprise the 3 preferred HC CDR1 length diversities. Most preferably, the 3 lengths should be incorporated in approximately the ratios in which they are observed in antibodies selected without reference to the length of the CDRs. For example, one sample of 1095 HC genes have the three lengths present in the ratio: L=5:L=7:L=14::820:175:23::0.80:0.17:0.02. This is the preferred ratio in accordance with this invention.

(ii) CDR2

Diversity in HC CDR2 was designed with the same considerations as for HC CORI: GLG sequences, mature sequences and 3D structure. A preferred length for CDR2 is 17, as shown in Table 1. For this preferred 17 length CDR2, the preferred variegation in accordance with the invention is: <2>I<2><3>SGG<1>T<1>YADSVKG (SEQ ID NO:2), where <2> indicates any amino acid residue selected from the group of Y, R, W, V, G and S (equimolar mixture), <3> is P, S and G or P and S only (equimolar mixture), and <1> is any native amino acid residue except C (equimolar mixture).

ON-R2V1vg shown in Table 3 embodies this diversity pattern. It is preferably synthesized so that fragments of dsDNA containing the BstXI and XbaI site can be generated by PCR. PCR with ON-R2V1vg, ON-R2top, and ONR2bot gives a dsDNA product of 122 base pairs. Cleavage with BstXI and XbaI removes about 10 bases from each end and produces cohesive ends that can be ligated to similarly cut vector that contains the 3-23 gene-shown in Table 1.

In an alternative embodiment for a 17 length HC CDR2, the following variegation may be used; <1>I<4><1><1>G<5><1><1><1>YADSVKG (SEQ ID NO:3), where <1> is as described above for the more preferred alternative of HC CDR2; <4> indicates an equimolar mixture of DINSWY, and <5> indicates an equimolar mixture of SGDN. This diversity pattern is embodied in ON-R2V2vg shown in Table 3. Preferably, the two embodiments are used in equimolar mixtures in the libraries of this invention.

Other preferred HC CDR2s have lengths 16 and 19.

Length 16: <1>I<4><1><1>G<5<1><1>YNPSLKG (SEQ ID NO:4); Length:19: <1>I<8>S<1><1><1>GGYY<1>YAASVKG (SEQ ID NO:5), wherein <1> is an equimolar mixture of all native amino acid residues except C; <4> is a equimolar mixture of DINSWY; <5> is an equimolar mixture of SGDN; and <8> is 0.27 R and 0:0 7 of each of residues ADEFGHIKLMNPQSTVWY. Table 3 shows ON-R2V3vg which embodies a preferred aDR2 variegation of length 16 and ON7R2V4vg which embodies a preferred CDR2 variegation of length 19. To prepare these variegations ON-R2V3vg may be PCR amplified with ON-A2top and ON-R2bo3 and ON-R2V4vg may be PCR amplified with ON-R2top and ON-R2-bo4. See Table 3. In the most preferred embodiment of this invention, all three HC CDR2 lengths are used. Preferably, they are present in a ratio 17:16:19::579:464:31::0.54:0.43:0.03.

(iii) CDR3

The preferred libraries of this invention comprise several BC CDR3 components. Some of these will have only sequence diversity. Others will have sequence diversity with embedded D segments to extend the length, while also incorporating sequences known to allow Igs to fold. The HC CDR3 components of the preferred libraries of this invention and their diversities are depicted in Table 4: Components 1-8.

This set of components was chosen after studying the sequences of 1383 human BC sequences. The proposed components are meant to fulfill the following goals:

1) approximately the same distribution of lengths as seen in native Ab genes;

2) high level of sequence diversity at places having high diversity in native Ab genes; and

3) incorporation of constant sequences often seen in native Ab genes.

Component 1 represents all the genes having lengths 0 to 8 (counting from the YYCAR motif at the end of FR3 to the WG dipeptide motif near the start of the J region, i.e., FR4). Component 2 corresponds the all the genes having lengths 9 or 10. Component 3. corresponds to the genes having lengths 11 or 12 plus half the genes having length 13. Component 4 corresponds to those having length 14 plus half those having length 13. Component 5 corresponds to the genes having length 15 and half of those having length 16. Component 6 corresponds to genes of length 17 plus half of those with length 16. Component 7 corresponds to those with length 18. Component 8 corresponds to those having length 19 and greater. See Table 4.

For each HC CDR3 residue having the diversity <1>, equimolar ratios are preferably not used. Rather, the following ratios are used 0.095 [G and Y] and 0.048 [A, D, E, F, H, I, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, and W]. Thus, there is a double dose of G and Y with the other residues being in equimolar ratios. For the other diversities, e.g., KR or SG, the residues are present in equimolar mixtures.

In the preferred libraries of this invention the eight components are present in the following fractions: 1 (0.10), 2 (0.14), 3 (0.25), 4 (0.13), 5 (0.13), 6 (0.11), 7 (0.04) and 8 (0.10). See Table 4.

In the more preferred embodiment of this invention, the amounts of the eight components is adjusted because the first component is not complex enough to justify including it as 10% of the library. For example, if the final library were to have 1×10⁹ members, then 1×10⁸ sequences would come from component 1, but it has only 2.6×10⁵ CDR3 sequences so that each one would occur in ˜385 CDR1/2 contexts. Therefore, the more preferred amounts of the eight components are 1 (0.02), 2 (0.14), 3 (0.25), 4 (0.14), 5 10.14), 6 (0.12), 7 (0.68), 8 (0.11). In accordance with the more preferred embodiment component 1 occurs in ˜77 CDR1/2 contexts and the other, longer CDR3s occur more often.

Table 5 shows vgDNA that embodies each of the eight HC CDR3 components shown in Table 4. In Table 5, the oligonucleotides (ON) Ctop25, CtprmA, C8prmB, and CBot25 allow PCR amplification of each of the variegated ONs (vgDNA): C1t08, C2t10, C3t12, C4t14, C5t15, C6t17, C7t18, and C8t19. After amplification, the dsDNA can be cleaved with AfiII and BstEII (or KpnI) and ligated to similarly cleaved vector that contains the remainder of the 3-23 domain. Preferably, this vector already contains diversity in one, or both, of CDR1 and CDR2 as disclosed herein. Most preferably, it contains diversity in both the CDR1 and CDR2 regions. It is, of course, to be understood that the various diversities can be incorporated into the vector in any order.

Preferably, the recipient vector originally contains a stuffer in place of CDR1, CDR2 and CDR3 so that there will be no parental sequence that would then occur in the resulting library. Table 6 shows a version of the V3-23 gene segment with each CDR replaced by a short segment that contains both stop codons and restriction sites that will allow specific cleavage of any vector that does not have the stuffer removed. The stuffer can either be short and contain a restriction enzyme site that will not occur in the finished library, allowing removal of vectors that are not cleaved by both AfiII and BstEII (or Aionl) and religated. Alternatively, the stuffer could be 200-400 bases long so that uncleaned or once-cleaved vector can be readily separated from doubly cleaved vector.

Human Antibody Light Chain: Sequence and Length Diversity

(i) Kappa Chain

(a) Framework

In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the kappa light chain is built in an A27 framework with a JK1 region. These are the most common V and J regions in the native genes. Other frameworks, such as 012, L2, and All, and other J regions, such as JK4, however, may be used without departing from the scope of this invention.

(b) CDR1

In native human kappa chains, CDR1s with lengths of 11, 12, 13, 16, and 17 were observed with length 11 being predominant and length 12 being well represented. Thus, in the preferred embodiments of this invention LC CDR1s of length 11 and 12 are used in an and mixture similar to that observed in native antibodies), length 11 being most preferred. Length 11 has the following sequence: RASQ<1>V<2><2><3>LA (SEQ ID NO:14) and Length 12 hag the following sequence: RASQ<1>V<25<2><2><3>LA (SEQ ID NO:15), wherein <1> is an equimolar mixture of ill of the native amino acid residues, except C, <2> is 0.2 S and 0.044 of each of ADEFGHIKLMNPQRTVWY, and <3> is 0.2.Y and 0.044 each of A, D, E, F, G, H, 1, K, L, M, N, Q, R, T, V, W and Y. In the most preferred embodiment of this invention, both CDR1. lengths are used. Preferably, they are present in a ratio of 11:12::154:73:0.68:0.32.

(c) CDR2

In native kappa, CDR2 exhibits only length 7. This length is used in the preferred embodiments of-this invention. It has the sequence <1>AS<2>R<4><1>, wherein <1> is an-equimolar mixture of amino acid residues ADEFGHIKLMNPQRSTVWY; <2> is 0.2 S and 0.004 of each of ADEFGHIKLMNPQRTVWY; and <4> is 0.2 A and 0.044 of each of DEFGHIKLMNPQRSTUWY.

(d) CDR3

In native kappa, CDR3 exhibits lengths of 4, 6, 7; 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 0.0 . . . and 19. While any of these lengths and mixtures of them can be employed in this invention, we prefer lengths 8, 9 and 10, length 9 being more preferred. For the preferred Length 9, the sequence is, QQ<3><1><1><1>P<1>T, wherein <1> is an equimolar mixture of amino acid residues ADEFGHIKLMNPQRSTVWY and <3> is 0.2? and 0.044 each of ADEFGHIKLWQRSVW. Length 8 is preferably QQ33111P and Length 10 is Preferably QQ3211PP1T, wherein 1 and 3 are as defined for Length 9 and 2 is S (0.2) and 0.044 each of ADEFGHIKLMNPQRTVWY. A mixture of all 3 lengths being most preferred (ratios as in native antibodies), i.e., 8:9:10i28:166:63::0.1:0.65:0.25.

Table 7 shows a kappa chain gene of this invention, including a PlacZ promoter a ribosome-binding site, and signal sequence (MI3 III signal). The DNA sequence encodes the GLG amino acid sequence but does not comprise the GLG DNA sequence. Restriction sites are designed to fall within each framework region so that diversity can be cloned into the CDRs. XmaI and Espl are in FR1, SexAI is in FR2, RsrII is in FR3, and KpnI (or Acc65I), are in FR4. Additional sites are provided in the constant kappa chain to facilitate construction of the gene.

Table 7 also shows a suitable scheme of variegation for kappa. In CDR1, the most preferred length 11 is depicted. However, most preferably both lengths 11 and 12 are used. Length 12 in CDR1 can be construed by introducing codon 51 as <2> (i.e. a Ser-biased mixture). CDR2 of kappa is always 7 codons. Table 7 shows a preferred variegation scheme for CDR2. Table 7 Shows a variegation scheme for the most preferred CDR3 (length 9). Similar variegations can be lied for CDRs of length 8 and 10. In the preferred embodiment of this invention, those three lengths (8, 9 and 10) are included in the libraries of this invention in the native ratios, as described above.

Table 9 shows series of diversity oligonucleotides and primers that may be used to construct the kappa chain diversities depicted in Table 7.

(ii) Lambda Chain

(a) Framework

The lambda chain is preferably built in a 2a2 framework with an L2J region. These are the most common V and J regions in the native genes. Other frameworks, such as 31, 4b, 1a and 6a, and other J regions, such as L1J, L3J and L7J, however, may be used without departing from the scope of this invention.

(b) CDR1

In native human lambda chains, CDR1s with length 14 predominate, lengths 11, 12 and 13 also occur. While any of these can be used in this invention, lengths 11 and 14 are preferred. For length 11 the sequence is: TG<2><4>L<4><4><4><3><4><4> (SEQ ID NO:22) and for Length 14 the sequence is: TG<1>SS<2>VG<1><3><2><3>VS (SEQ ID NO:18), wherein <1> is 0.27 T, 0.21 G and 0.027 each of ADEFHIKLMNPQRSVWY; <2> is 0.27 D, 0.27 N and 0.027 each of AEFGHIKLMPQRSTVWY; <3> is 0.36 Y and 0.0355 each of ADEFGHIKLMNPQRSTVW; and <4> is an equimolar mixture of amino acid residues ADEFGHIKLMNPQRSTVWY. Most preferably, Mixtures (similar to those occurring in native antibodies) preferably, the ratio is 11:14::23:46::0.33:0.67 of the three lengths are used.

(c) CDR2

In native human lambda chains₄. CDR2s with length 7 are by far the most common. This length is preferred in this invention. The sequence of this Length 7 CDR2 is <4><4><4><2>RPS, wherein <2> is 0.27 D, 0.27 N, and 0.027 each of AEFGHIKLMPQRTVWY and <4> is an equimolar mixture of amino acid residues ADEFGHIKLMNPQRSTVW.

(d) CDR3

In native human lambda chains, CDR3s of length 10 and 11 predominate, while length 9 is also common. Any of these three lengths can be used in the invention. Length 11 is preferred and mixtures of 10 and 11 more preferred. The sequence of Length 11 is <4><5><4><2><4>S<4><4><4><4>V, where <2> and <4> are as defined for the lambda CORI and <5> is 0.36 S and 0.0355 each of ADFFGHIKLMNFORTVWY. The sequence of Length 10 is <5>SY<1><5>S<5><1><4>V (SEQ ID NO:19), wherein <1> is an equimolar mixture of ADEFGHIKLMNPQRSTVWY; and <4> and <5> are as defined for Length 11. The preferred mixtures of this invention comprise an equimolar mixture of Length 10 and Length 11. Table 8 shows a preferred focused lambda light chain diversity in accordance with this invention.

Table 9 shows a series of diversity oligonucleotides and primers that may be used to construct 10 the lambda chain diversities depicted in Table 7.

Method of Construction of the Genetic Package

The diversities of heavy chain and the kappa and lambda light chains are best constructed in separate vector's. First a synthetic gene is designed to embody each of the synthetic variable domains. The light chains are bounded by restriction sites for ApaLI (positioned at the very end of the signal sequence) and AscI (positioned after the stop codon). The heavy chain is bounded by SfiI (positioned within the PelB signal sequence) and NotI (positioned in the linker between CH1 and the anchor protein). Signal sequences other than PelB may also need, e.g., a M13 pIII signal sequence.

The initial genes are made with “stutter” sequences in place of the desired CDRs. A “stutter” is a sequence that is to be cut away and replaced by diverse DNA but which does not allow expression of a functional antibody gene. For example, the stuffer may contain several stop codons and restriction sites that will not occur in the correct finished library vector. For example, in Table 10, the stuffer for CDR1 of kappa A27 contains a StuI site. The vgDNA for CDR1 is introduced as a cassette from EspI, XmaI, or AflII to dither SexAI or KasI. After the ligation, the DNA is cleaved with Still; there should be no StuI sites in the desired vectors.

The sequences of the heavy chain gene with stuffers is depicted in Table 6. The sequences of the kappa light chain gene with stuffers is depicted in Table 10. The sequence of the lambda light chain gene with stuffers is depicted in Table 11.

In another embodiment of the present invention the diversities of heavy chain and the kappa or lambda light chains are constructed in a single vector or genetic packages (e.g., for display or display and expression) having appropriate restriction sites that allow cloning of these chains. The processes to construct such vectors are well known and widely used in the art. Preferably, a heavy chain and Kappa light Chain library and a heavy chain and lambda light chain library would be prepared separately. The two libraries, most preferably, will then be mixed in equimolar amounts to attain maximum diversity.

Most preferably, the display is had on the surface of a derivative of M13 phage. The most preferred vector contains all the genes of M13, an antibiotic resistance-gene, and the display cassette. The preferred vector is provided with restriction sites that allow introduction and excision of members of the diverse family of genes, as cassettes. The preferred vector is stable against rearrangement under the growth conditions used to amplify phage.

In another embodiment of this invention, the diversity captured by the methods of the present invention may be displayed and/or expressed in a phagemid vector (e.g., pCES1) that displays and/or expresses the peptide, polypeptide or protein. Such vectors may also be used to store the diversity for subsequent display and/or expression using other vectors or phage.

In another embodiment of this invention, the diversity captured by the methods of the present invention may be displayed and/or expressed in a yeast vector.

The invention relates to generation of useful diversity in synthetic antibody (Ab) gene, especially to Ab genes having frameworks derived from human Abs.

Background of the Invention:

Antibodies are highly useful molecules because of their ability to bind almost any substance with high specificity and affinity and their ability to remain in circulation in blood for prolonged periods as therapeutic or diagnostic agents. For treatment of humans, Abs derived from human Abs are much preferred to avoid immune response to the Ab. For example, murine Abs very often cause Human Anti Mouse Antibodies (HAMA) which at a minimum prevent the therapeutic effects of the murine Ab. For many medical applications, monoclonal Abs are preferred. Nowadays the preferred method of obtaining a human Ab having a particular binding specificity is to select the Ab from a library of human-derived Abs displayed on a genetic package, such as filamentous phage.

Libraries of phage-displayed Fabs and scFvs have been produced in several ways. One method is to capture the diversity of donors, either naive or immunized. Another way is to generate libraries having synthetic diversity. The present invention relates to methods of generating useful diversity in human Ab scaffolds.

As is well known, typical Abs consist of two heavy chains (HC) and two light chains (LC). There are several types of HCs: gamma, mu, epsilon, delta, etc. Each type has an N-terminal V domain followed by three or more constant domains. The LCs comprise an N-terminal V domain followed by a constant domain. LCs come in two types: kappa and lambda.

Within each V domain (LC or HC) there are seven canonical regions, named FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4, where “FR” stands for “Framework Region” and “CDR” stands for “Complementarity Determining Region”. For LC and HC, the FR and CDR GLGs have been selected over time to be secretable, stable, non-antigenic and these properties should be preserved as much as possible. Actual Ab genes contain mutations in the FR regions and some of these mutations contribute to binding, but such useful FR mutations are rare and are not necessary to obtain high-affinity binding. Thus, the present invention will concentrate diversity in the CDR regions.

In LC, FR1 up to FR3 and part of CDR3 comes from a genomic collection of genes called “V-genes”. The remainder of CDR3 and FR4 comes from a genomic collection of genes called “J-genes”. The joining may involve a certain degree of mutation, allowing diversity in CDR3 that is not present in the genomic sequences. After the LC gene is formed, somatic mutations can give rise to mature, rearranged LC genes that have higher affinity for an antigen (Ag) than does any LC encoded by genomic sequences. A large fraction of somatic mutations occur in CDRs.

The HC V region is more complicated. A V gene is joined to a J gene with the possible inclusion of a D segment. About half of HC Abs sequences contain a recognizable D segment in CDR3. The joining is achieved with an amazing degree of molecular sloppiness. Roughly, the end of the V gene may have zero to several bases deleted or changed, the D segment may have zero to many bases removed or changed at either end, a number of random bases may be inserted between V and D or between D and J, and the 5′ end of J may be edited to remove or change several bases. Withal, it is amazing that human heavy chains work, but they do. The upshot is that the CDR3 is highly diverse both in encoded amino-acid sequences and in length. In designing synthetic libraries, there is the temptation to just throw in a high degree of synthetic diversity and let the phage sort it out. Nevertheless, D regions serve a function. They cause the Ab repertoire to be rich in sequences that a) allow Abs to fold correctly, and b) are conducive to binding to biological molecules, i.e. antigens.

One purpose of the present invention is to show how a manageable collection of diversified sequences can confer these advantages on synthetic Ab libraries. Another purpose of the present invention is to disclose analysis of known mature Ab sequences that lead to improved designs for diversity in the CDR1 and CDR2 of HC and the three CDRs of lambda and kappa chains.

Brief Statement of the Invention:

The invention is directed to methods of preparing synthetically diverse populations of Ab genes suitable for display on genetic packages (such as phage or phagemids) or for other regimens that allow selection of specific binding. Said populations concentrate the diversity into regions of the Ab that are likely to be involved in determining affinity and specificity of the Ab for particular targets. In particular, a collection of actual Ab genes has been analyzed and the sites of actual diversity have been identified. In addition, structural considerations were used to determine whether the diversity is likely to greatly influence the binding activity of the Ab. Schemes of variegation are presented that encode populations in which the majority of members will fold correctly and in which there is likely to be a plurality of members that will bind to any given Ag. Specifically, a plan of variegation is presented for each CDR of the human heavy chain, kappa light chain, and lambda light chain. The variegated CDRs are presented in synthetic HC and LC frameworks.

In one embodiment, the invention involves variegation of human HC variable domains based on a synthetic 3-23 domain joined to a JH4 segment in which the variability in CDR1 and CDR2 comprises sequence variation of segments of fixed length while in CDR3 there are several components such that the population has lengths roughly corresponding to lengths seen in human Abs and having embedded D segments in a portion of the longer segments. In the light chains, the kappa chain is built in an A27 framework and a JK1 while lambda is built in a 2a2 framework with an L2 J region.

Examples Choice of a Heavy-Chain V Domain

The HC Germ-Line Gene (GLG) 3-23 (also known as VP-47) accounts for about 12% of all human Abs and it suitable for the framework of the library. Certain types of Ags elicit Abs having particular types of VH genes; in some cases, the types elicited are otherwise rarely found. This apparent Ag/Ab type specificity has been ascribed to possible structural differences between the various families of V genes. It is also possible that the selection has to do with the availability of particular AA types in the GLG CDRs. Suppose, for example, that the sequence YR at positions 4 and 5 of CDR2 is particularly effective in binding a particular type of Ag. Only the V gene 6-1 provides this combination. Most Abs specific for the Ag will come from GLG 6-1. If Y4-R5 were provided in other frameworks, then other frameworks are likely to be as effective in binding the Ag.

Analysis of HC CDR1 and CDR2:

In CDR1 and CDR2 of HCs, the GLGs provide limited length diversity as shown in Table 15P. Note that GLGs provide CDR1s only of the lengths 5, 6, and 7. Mutations during the maturation of the V-domain gene leads to CDR1s having lengths as short as 2 and as long as 16. Nevertheless, length 5 predominates. The preferred length for the present invention is 5 AAs in CDR1 with a possible supplemental components having lengths of 7 and 14.

GLGs provide CDR2s only of the lengths 15-19, but mutations during maturation result in CDR2s of length from 16 to 28 AAs. The lengths 16 and 17 predominate in mature Ab genes and length 17 is the most preferred length for the present invention. Possible supplementary components of length 16 and 19 may also be incorporated.

Table 20P shows the AA sequences of human GLG CDR1s and CDR2. Table 21P shows the frequency of each amino-acid type at each position in the GLGs. The GLGs as shown in Table 20P have been aligned by inserting gaps near the middle of the segment so that the ends align.

The 1398 mature V-domain genes used in studying D segments (vide infra) were scanned for examples in which CDR1 and CDR2 could be readily identified. Of this sample 1095 had identifiable CDR1, 2, and 3. The CDRs were identified by finding subsequences of the GLGs in an open reading frame. There are 51 human HC V genes. At the end of FR1, there are 20 different 9-mers. At the start of FR2, there are 11 different 9-mers. At the end of FR2 there are 14 different 9-mers. At the start of FR3, there are 14 different 9-mers. At the end of FR3, there are 13 different 9-mers. At the start of JH, there are three different 9-mers. These motifs were compared to the reported gene in frame and a match, at the site of maximum similarity, of seven out of nine was deemed acceptable. Only when all three CDRs were identified were any of the CDRs included in the analysis. In addition, the type of the gene was determined by comparing the framework regions to the GLG frameworks; the results are shown in Table 22P.

Design of HC CDR1 and CDR2 Diversity.

Diversity in CDR1 and CDR2 was designed from: a) the diversity of the GLGs, b) observed diversity in mature HC genes, and c) structural considerations. In CDR1, examination of a 3D model of a humanized Ab showed that the side groups of residues 1, 3, and 5 were directed toward the combining pocket. Consequently, we allow each of these positions to be any amino-acid type except cysteine. Cysteine can form disulfide bonds. Disulfide bonds are an important component of the canonical Ig fold. Having free thiol groups could interfere with proper folding of the HC and could lead to problems in production or manipulation of selected Abs. Thus, I exclude cysteine from the menu. The side groups of residue 2 is directed away from the combining pocket. Although this position shows substantial diversity, both in GLG and mature genes, I fixed this residue as Tyr because it occurs in 681/820 mature genes (Table 21P). Position 4 is fixed as Met. There is some diversity here, but almost all mature genes have uncharged hydrophobic AA types: M, W, I, V, etc. (Table 21P). Inspection of a 3D model shows that the side group of residue 4 is packed into the innards of the HC. Since we are using a single framework (3-23), we retain the Met that 3-23 has because it is likely to fit very well into the framework of 3-23. Thus, the most preferred CDR1 library consists of XYXMX (SEQ ID NO:109) where X can be any one of [A,D,E,F,G,H,I,K,L,M,N,P,Q,R,S,T,V,W,Y] (no C). The DNA that encodes this is preferably synthesized using trinucleotide building blocks so that each AA type is present in essentially equimolar amounts. Specifically, the X codons are synthesized using a mixture of the codons [gct, gat, gag, ttt, ggt, cat, att, aag, atg, aat, cct, cag, cgt, tct, act, gtt, tgg, tat]. This diversity is shown in the context of a synthetic 3-23 gene in Table 18P. The diversity oligonucleotide (ON) is synthesized from BspEI to BstXI and can be incorporated either by PCR synthesis using overlapping ONs or introduced by ligation of BspEI/BstXI-cut fragments. Table 22P shows ONs that embody the specified variegation. PCR using ON-R1V1vg, ON-Rltop, and ON-Rlbot gives a dsDNA product of 73 base pairs, cleavage with BspEI and BstXI trims 11 and 13 bases from the ends and provides cohesive ends that can be ligated to similarly cut vector having the synthetic 3-23 domain shown in Table 18P. Replacement of ON-R1V1vg with either ONR1V2vg or ONR1V3vg allows synthesis of the two alternative diversity patterns given below.

Alternatively, one can include CDR1s of length 7 and/or 14. For length 7, a preferred diversity is (S/T)₁(S/G/x)₂(S/G/x)₃Y₄Y₅W₆(S/G/x)₇ (SEQ ID NO:107); where (S/T) indicates an equimolar mixture of Ser and Thr codons; (S/G/x) indicates a mixture of 0.2025 S, 0.2025 G, and 0.035 for each of A, D, E, F, H, I, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, T, V, W, Y. Other proportions could be used. The design gives a predominance of Ser and Gly at positions 2, 3, and 7, as occurs in mature HC genes. For length 14, a preferred pattern of diversity is VSGGSISXXXYYWX (SEQ ID NO:1) where X can be any AA type except Cys. This pattern appears to arise by insertions into the GLG sequences (SGGYYWS; SEQ ID NO:110, (4-30.1 and 4-31) and similar sequences. There is a preference for a hydrophobic residue at position 1 (V or C) with a second insertion of SISXXX (SEQ ID NO:111) between GG and YY. Diversity ONs having CDR1s of length 7 or 14 are synthesized from BspEI to BstXI and introduced into the library in appropriate proportions to the CDR1 of length 5. The components should be incorporated in approximately the ratios in which they are observed in antibodies selected without reference to the length of the CDRs. For example, the sample of 1095 HC genes examined here have them in the ratios (L=5:L=7:L=14::820:175:23::0.80:0.17:0.02).

CDR2

Diversity at CDR2 was designed with the same considerations: GLG sequences, mature sequences and 3D structure. A preferred length for CDR2 is 17, as shown in Table 18P. Examination of a 3D model suggests that the residues shown as varied in Table 18P are the most likely to interact directly with Ag. Thus a preferred pattern of variegation is: <2>I<2><3>SGG<1>T<1>YADSVKG (SEQ ID NO:2), where <2> indicates a mixture of YRWVGS, <3> is a mixture of P and S, and <1> is a mixture of ADEFGHIKLMNPQRSTVWY (no C). ON-R2V1vg shown in Table 22P embodies this diversity pattern. PCR with ON-R2V1vg, ON-R2top, and ONR2bot gives a dsDNA product of 122 base pairs. Cleavage with BstXI and XbaI removes about 10 bases from each end and produces cohesive ends that can be ligated to similarly cut vector that contains the 3-23 gene shown in Table 18P.

An alternative pattern would include the variability seen in mature CDR2s as shown in Table 21P: <1>I<4><1><1>G<5><1><1><1>YADSVKG (SEQ ID NO:3), where <4> indicates a mixture of DINSWY, and <5> indicates a mixture of SGDN. This diversity pattern is embodied in ON-R2V2vg shown in Table 22P. For either case, the variegated ONs would be synthesized so that fragments of dsDNA containing the BstXI and XbaI site can be generated by PCR. ON-R2V2vg embodies this diversity pattern.

Alternatively, one can allow shorter or longer CDR2s. Table 22P shows ON-R2V3vg which embodies a CDR2 of length 16 and ON-R2V4vg which embodies a CDR2 of length 19. Table 22P shows ON-R2V3vg is PCR amplified with ON-R2top and ON-R2bo3 while ON-R2V4vg is amplified with ON-R2top and ONR2-bo4.

Analysis of HC CDR3:

CDR3s of HC vary in length and in sequence. About half of human HCs consist of the components: V::nz::D::ny::JHn where V is a V gene, nz is a series of bases (mean 12) that are essentially random, D is a D segment, often with heavy editing at both ends, ny is a series of bases (mean 6) that are essentially random, and JH is one of the six JH segments, often with heavy editing at the 5′ end. In HCs that have no identifiable D segment, the structure is V::nz::JHn where JH is usually edited at the 5′ end. Our goal is to mimic the diversity of CDR3, but not to duplicate it (which would be impossible). The D segments appear to provide spacer segments that allow folding of the IgG. The greatest diversity is at the junctions of V with D and of D with JH. The planned CDR3 library will consist of several components. Some of these will have only sequence diversity. Others will have sequence diversity with embedded D segments to extend the length while incorporating sequences known to allow Igs to fold.

There are many papers on D segments. Corbett et al. (1997) show which D segments are used in which reading frames. My analysis basically confirms their findings. They did not report, however, the level of editing of each D segment and this information is needed for design of an effective library.

The following diversified sequences would be incorporated in the indicated proportions: “1” stands for 0.095 [G, Y] and 0.048 [A, D, E, F, H, I, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W]; double dose of Gly and Tyr plus all other AAs except Cys at equal level.

The amount of each component is assigned from the tabulation of lengths of the collection of natural VH genes. Component 1 represents all the genes having length 0 to 8 (counting from the YYCAR (SEQ ID NO:112) motif to the WG dipeptide motif). Component 2 corresponds the all the chains having length 9 or 10. Component 3 corresponds to the genes having length 11 or 12 plus half the genes having length 13. Component 4 corresponds to those having length 14 plus half those having length 13. Component 5 corresponds to the genes having length 15 and half of those having length 16. Component 6 corresponds to genes of length 17 plus half of those with length 16. Component 7 corresponds to those with length 18. Component 8 corresponds to those having length 19 and greater.

The composition has been adjusted because the first component is not complex enough to justify including it as 10% of the library. If the final library were to be 1. E 9, then 1. E 8 sequences would come from component 1, but it has only 2.6 E 5 CDR3 sequences so that each one would occur in ˜385 CDR1/2 contexts. I think it better to have this short CDR3 diversity occur in ˜77 CDR1/2 contexts and have the other, longer CDR3s occur more often.

The ONs would be PCR amplified with the primers CtprmA and CBprmB, cut with AflII and BstEII, and ligated to similarly cut V3-23.

This set of components was designed after studying the sequences of 1383 human HC sequences as described below. The proposed components are meant to fulfill the goals:

1) approximately the same distribution of lengths as seen in real Ab genes,

2) high level of sequence diversity at places having high diversity in real Ab genes, and

3) incorporation of constant sequences often seen in real Ab genes.

Note that the design uses JH4 (YFDYWGQGTLVTVSS; SEQ ID NO:20), which is found more often, instead of JH3 (AFDIWGQGTMVTVSS; SEQ ID NO:21). This involves three changes in AA sequence, shown as double underscored bold. An alternative JH segment is shown.

How the Library Components were Designed:

The processing of sequence data was accomplished by a series of custom-written FORTRAN programs, each of which carries out a fairly simple transformation on the data and writes its results as one or more ASCII files. The next program then uses these files as input.

A set of 2049 human heavy-chain genes was selected from the version of GenBank that was available at Dyax on the Sun server on 26 Jun. 2000. A program named “Reformat” changed the format of the files to that of GenBank from the GCG format, creating one file per sequence. A second program named “IDENT_CDR3” processed each of these files as follows. Files were tested for duplication by previous entries, duplicates were discarded. Each reading frame was tested. Most entries had a single open reading frame (ORF), none had two, and some had none. Entries with multiple stops in every reading frame were discarded because this indicates poor quality of sequencing. The sequence was written in triplets in the ORF or in all three reading frames if no ORF was found. The sequence was examined for three motifs: a) AA sequence=“YYCxx”, b) DNA sequence=“tgg ggc (=WG)”, and DNA sequence=“g gtc acc (=BstEII)”. FR3 ends with a conserved motif YYCAR or a close approximation. When writing the DNA sequence, IDENT_CDR3 prints the DNA mostly in lower case. Cysteine codons (TGT or TGC) are printed in uppercase. When the motif “tay tay tgy” is found, IDENT_CDR3 starts a new line that contains “< > xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx” where the xxx's stand for the actual five codons that encode YYC and the next two codons (most often AR or AK). The following DNA is printed in triplets on new lines. A typical processed entry appears as in Table 1P.

Following the YYC motif, IDENT_CDR3 seeks the sequence “TGG GGC” (the “WG” motif) in the correct reading frame, 5/6 bases is counted as a hit. If found, the DNA is made uppercase. Following the WG motif (if found) or the YYC motif (if no WG found), IDENT_CDR3 seeks the sequence “G GTC ACC” (the BstEII site) in the correct reading frame, 6/7 bases is counted as a hit. If found, the bases are made upper case. If either the WG or BstEII motif are not found, a note is inserted saying that the feature was not identified. The output of IDENT_CDR3 was processed by hand. In many cases, the lacking YYC motif could be seen as a closely related sequence, such as YFC, FYC, or HYC. When this was supported by an appropriately positioned WG and/or BstEII site, the effective YYC site was marked and the sequence retained for further analysis. If the YYC motif could not be identified or if the WG or BstEII sites could not be found, the entry was discarded. For example, the entry in Table 2P had no YYC motif.

The double underscored sequence encodes YHCAS and is taken as the end of FR3. Note that there is a WG motif at bases 403-408 (bold upper case) and a BstEII site at bases 420-426 (bold upper case). Using WordPerfect, I first made all occurrences of TGC and TGT bold. I then searched for “YYC not found”. If I could see the “YYC”-related sequence quickly, I edited the entry so that a YYC was shown. The entry above would be converted to that shown in Table 3P. This processing reduced the list of entries to 1669.

A third program named “New_DJ” processed the output of IDENT_CDR3. The end of the YYC motif (including the two codon following TGy=Cys) was taken as the end of FR3. The WG motif was taken as the end of the region that might contain a D segment. If WG was not observed and BstEII was, the WG site was assumed to be 17 bases upstream of BstEII. Using the WG motif for alignment, the sequence was compared to each human GLG JH segment (1-6) and the best one identified (New_DJ always assigned a JH segment). Starting from the WG motif of JH and moving toward the 5′ end, the program looked for the first codon having more than one mismatch. The region from YYCxx (SEQ ID NO:113) to this codon was taken as the region that might contain a D segment.

The region that might contain a D segment was tested against all the germ-line genes (GLGs) of human D segments and the best D segment was identified. The scoring involved matching the observed sequence to the GLG sequence in all possible ways. Starting at each base, multiply by 4 for a match and divide by 4 for a mismatch. Record the maximum value obtained for this function. The match was deemed significant if 7/7, 8/9, 9/11, etc. or more bases matched. Of the 1383 sequences examined for D segments,

“Assign_D” processes the output of New_DJ. For each sequence that had a significant match with a GLG D segment, a file was written containing the putative D segment, the DJ segment, the identified GLG D segment, the identified JH segment, the phase of the match between observed and GLG gene. For example, “D1_1-01_Phz0_hsa239356.txt” is a file recording the match of entry hsa239356 with D1-01 in phase 0. The file contains the information shown in Table 4P. The final DV of the second sequence immediately precedes the WG in JH and is ascribed to JH3. Other files that begin D1_1-01_Phz0 match the same GLG D segment and these can be aligned by sliding amino-acid sequences across each other.

Table 5P shows how sequence hs6d4xb7 is first assigned to JH4 and then to D3-22. Note that the DNA sequence TGGGGG is aligned to the TGG GGC of the GLG and that the sequence is truncated on the left to fit. The program finds that JH4 has the best fit (5 misses and 18 correct out of 23). From the right, the program sees that DYWGQ (underscored) come from JH, but then the match drops off and the rest of the sequence on the left comes either from added bases or a D segment.

The lower part of Table 5P shows that the possible D segment matches D#13 (3-23) is a very good match.

Of 1383 files accepted by Assign_D, 757 had identifiable D segments. The tally of JHs in Table 6P shows that JH4 is by far the most common.

JH4 is most common, JH6 next, followed by JH3 and JH5. JH1 and JH2 are seldom used. Table 7P shows the length distributions of each JH class; they do not differ significantly class to class. These lengths count only amino-acids that are not accounted for by JH and so are shorter that the lengths given in Table 8P which cover from YYCAR (SEQ ID NO:112) to WG.

Table 8P contains the distribution of lengths for a) all the CDR3 segments, b) the CDR3 segments with identified D segments, and c) the CDR3 segments having no identifiable D segment. The CDR3s with identifiable D segments (13.9) are systematically longer than are those that lack D segments (11.2).

The identified CDR3 segments can be collated in two ways: aligned to the left (looking for a pattern following YYCAR; SEQ ID NO:112) or aligned to the right (looking for a pattern preceding WG). Table 9P shows the collation of left-aligned sequences while Table 10P shows the right-aligned sequences. For each position, I have tabulated the frequency of each AA type (A-M in the first block and N-Y in the second). The column headed “#” shows how many sequences have some AA at that position. The final column shows all of the AA types seen at that position with the most frequent first and the least frequent last. In the left-aligned sequences, we see that Gly is highly over-represented in the first seven positions while Tyr is over-represented at positions 8-16.

In Table 11P, I have tabulated the AA frequencies for the sequences having between 7 and 15 AAs between YYCAR (SEQ ID NO:112) and WG. The last four positions can be viewed as coming from JH and so would be given lower levels of diversity than would earlier positions. From these tabulations, I conclude that most AA types are allowed at all the positions, but there is a fairly strong tendency to have Gly at the early positions and to end in Asp-Tyr (DY). We could use these tendencies in designing a pattern of variegation. I would not exclude any AA except Cys, but I might increase the frequency of Gly in the first several positions and Tyr in the last few.

There are 80 sequences (5.8%) having a pair of cysteines in CDR3. It is more surprising that 53 (3.8%) have a single Cys in CDR3.

MS-DOS was used to make a list of the files written by Assign_D. “Filter” converts the output of MS-DOS Dir into a form that can be read into WordPerfect and sorted to bring a files belonging to the same D region together.

“Filter2” collects the sequences and produces a draft table of sequences, grouped by the D-segment used, and written so that the sequences can be aligned. The output of Filter2 were edited by hand. For each group, the translation of the GLG was inserted and the collection of observed sequences was aligned to the conserved part of the GLG. “Filter3” collated the aligned sequences. Table 12P shows an example of an alignment and the tabulation of AA types. The entries are as follows: “Entry” is the name used in the data base, “Seq1” is the sequence from the YYCAR (SEQ ID NO:112) motif to the first amino acid not assigned to JH and “L1” is the length of the segment. The segments are shown aligned to the identified D segment. Seq2 is the sequence from the YYCAR (SEQ ID NO:112) motif to the WG motif (i.e. including part of JH) and “L2” is the length of that sequence. JH is the identified JH segment for this sequence. “P” is the phase of the match. For positive values of P, P bases are found in the observed sequence that do not correspond to any from the GLG, i.e. the observed sequence has had that many bases inserted. For negative values of P, there are |P| bases in the GLG sequence for which there are no corresponding bases in the observed sequence. “Score” is approximately 1/(probability of accidental match). This is calculated by looking at all possible alignments. For each alignment, the score is first set to 1.0. Base by base, the score is multiplied by 4. if the bases match and divided by 4. if they do not. This is done for all starting points and ending points and the maximum value is recorded.

Table 13P is a summary of how often each D segment was identified and in which reading frame. I have not been consistent with Corbett et al. in assigning the phases of the GLG D segments. The MRC Web page that I took the GLGs from did not have D segments D1-14, D4-11, D5-18, or D6-25. None of these contribute to any great extent and this omission is unlikely to have any serious effect on the conclusions. The column headed “%” contains the percentage of the sequences examined here. The column headed “C %” contains the percentage reported by Corbett et al. I assume that the data used in Corbett et al. is mostly included in my collection. Nevertheless, the observed frequencies differ in detail. For example, my compilation shows that 10.7% of the collection contains a D segment encoding two cysteines while they have only 4.16% in this category. In D3 phase “0”, I see 19.4% of the collection while they report 11.8%.

The most common actual D segments were further analyzed. The GLGs are heavily edited at either end. The aligned sequences were aligned. For each D-segment having more than seven examples, Filter3 produced a table of the frequency of each amino-acid type at each position. From these tabulations, library components shown in Table 17P were designed. At each position where at least half the examples have an amino acid, I entered either the dominant AA type or “x”. An AA type was “dominant” if it occurred more than 50% of the time. L is the length and f is the number of sequences observed that have related sequences.

Table 14P shows possible library components for a library of CDR3's. “L” is the length of the insert and “f” is the frequency of the motif in the assayed collection. Table 17P shows vgDNA that embodies each of the components shown in Table 14P. In Table 17P, the oligonucleotides (ON) Ctop25, CtprmA, CBprmB, and CBot25 allow PCR amplification of each of the variegated ONs (vgDNA): C1t08, C2t10, C3t12, C4t14, C5t15, C6t17, C7t18, and c8t19. After amplification, the dsDNA can be cleaved with AflII and BstEII (or KpnI) and ligated to similarly cleaved vector that contains the remainder of the 3-23 synthetic domain. Preferably, this vector already contains diversity in CDR1 and CDR2 as disclosed herein. Preferably, the recipient vector contains a stuffer in place of CDR3 so that there will be no parental sequence that would then occur in the resulting library. Table 50P shows a version of the V3-23 gene segment with each CDR replaced by a short segment that contains both stop codons and restriction sites that will allow specific cleavage of any vector that does not have the stuffer removed. The stuffer can either be short and contain a restriction enzyme site that will not occur in the finish library, allowing removal of vectors that are not cleaved by both AflII and BstEII (or KpnI) and religated. Alternatively, the stuffer could be 200-400 bases long so that uncleaved or once cleaved vector can be readily separated from doubly cleaved vector.

In the vgDNA for HC CDR3, <1> means a mixture comprising 0.27 Y, 0.27 G, and 0.027 of each of the amino-acid codons {A, D, E, F, H, I, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W}; <2> means an equimolar mixture of K and R; and <3> means an equimolar mixture of S and G.

Analysis of Human Kappa Light Chains and Preferred Variegation Scheme:

A collection of 285 human kappa chains was assembled from the public data base. Table 27 shows the names of the entries used. The GLG sequences of nine bases at each end of the framework regions were used to find the FR/CDR junctions. Only in cases where all six junctions could be found was the sequences included. Table 25P shows the distribution of lengths in CDRs in human kappas. CDR1s with lengths of 11, 12, 13, 16, and 17 were observed with 11 being predominant and 12 well represented. CDR2 exhibits only length 7. CDR3 exhibits lengths of 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 19. Essentially all examples are in the 8, 9, or 10 length groups.

Table 26P shows the distribution of V and J genes seen in the sample. A27 is the most common V and JK1 is the most common J. Thus, a suitable synthetic kappa gene comprises A27 joined to JK1. Table 30P shows a suitable synthetic kappa chain gene, including a PlacZ promoter, ribosome-binding site, and signal sequence (M13 III signal). The DNA sequence encodes the GLG amino-acid sequence, but does not comprise the GLG DNA sequence. Restriction sites are designed to fall within each framework region so that diversity can be cloned into the CDRs. XmaI and EspI are in FR1, SexAI is in FR2, RsrII is in FR3, and KpnI (or Acc65I) are in FR4. Additional sites are provided in the constant kappa chain to facilitate construction of the gene.

Table 30P also shows a suitable scheme of variegation for kappa. In CDR1, a preferred length is 11 codons. The A27 GLG has a CDR1 of 12 codons, but the sample of mature kappa chains has length 11 predominating. One could also introduce a component of kappas having length 12 in CDR1 by introducing codon 52 as <2> (i.e. a Ser-biased mixture). CDR2 of kappa is always 7 codons. Table 31P shows a tally of 285 CDR2s and a preferred variegation scheme for CDR2. The predominant length of CDR3 in kappa chains is 9 codons. Table 32P shows a tally of 166 CDR3s from human kappas and a preferred variegation scheme (which is also shown in Table 30P).

Analysis of Lambda Chains and Preferred Variegation Scheme:

A collection of 158 lambda sequences was obtained from the public data base. Of these 93 contained sequences in which the FR/CDR boundaries could be identified automatically. Table 33P shows the distribution of lengths of CDRs.

Method of Construction:

The diversity of HC, kappa, and lambda are best constructed in separate vectors. First a synthetic gene is designed to embody each of the synthetic variable domains. The light chains are bounded by restriction sites for ApaLI (positioned at the very end of the signal sequence) and AscI (positioned after the stop codon). The heavy chain is bounded by SfiI (positioned within the PelB signal sequence) and NotI (positioned in the linker between CH1 and the anchor protein. The initial genes are made with “stuffer” sequences in place of the desired CDRs. A “Stuffer” is a sequence the is to be cut away and replaced by diverse DNA but which does not allow expression of a functional antibody gene. For example, the stuffer may contain several stop codons and restriction sites that will not occur in the correct finished library vector. In Table 40P, the stuffer for CDR1 of kappa A27 contains a StuI site. The vgDNA for CDR1 is introduced as a cassette from EspI, XmaI, or AflII to either SexAI or KasI. After the ligation, the DNA is cleaved with StuI; there should be no StuI sites in the desired vectors.
